Good morning #mastoverse; fellow -β€˜lings. Have nothing important to say, but I hope today goes awesomely for you.

What we doing today?

Turn off the news & hug a dog, at some point today.

(Btw, Mastodon and Toot makes for the most unfortunate portmanteaus πŸ˜‚; everything I try sounds like it belongs on a title of an adult website)

Wait, I added β€œat flow dot Earth” in this message and it seems to have gone. What happened?
@Pauly Morning! You probably mean before "-'lings"? Not sure at this point, but perhaps Mastodon tries to resolve things that look like usernames to links and when it fails that's what happens? Did it show good still while you edited your toot?
Unrelated to this problem, it's floe with an e, by the way. πŸ˜ƒ

@gruifor haha, yup ! Let’s try a non scientific test…

@indieweb.social <AT indieweb DOT social>… diff server
<AT flow DOT Earth>… this server
@flow.Earth <AT flow DOT Earth> … misspelt server
#hashtagWithEmojiπŸ˜‚ <hashtag with emoji>.
@Pauly … user on diff server.

I’ll come back to this on the half dozen apps I downloaded to try and work it all out ! If that makes a difference.

@Pauly Looks like Mastodon removes only the name of your own instance. Could be that it has something to do with the fact that it tries to render user handles without the server part if they are on your own server.
